Goal

Keep trials under control so they help your page grow instead of filling your list with people who never spend.

Decide what trials are for on your page

Before we run any trial, we agree on why it exists. A clear purpose stops the account turning into a free content hub.

Warm up new people so they feel safe paying you.
Re activate older fans who dropped off.
Fill a specific campaign, such as a launch or relaunch.

If a trial does not support one of those, we usually skip it.

What we set up before a trial goes live

On your page

Clean bio and banners that match what they will see inside.
Pinned posts that show value fast without giving away everything.
Clear pricing ready for when the trial ends.

In DMs

Short welcome messages written for trial joins, not full subs.
Simple questions that help us sort who is serious and who is just curious.
Timing rules for when we introduce paid options and when we do not bother.

The basic trial flow we like to use

Step one

Trial joins. We tag them as trial in our system and send a short welcome so they know you are present and active on your own page.

Step two

Light engagement. We point them at a small amount of strong content. Enough to show what you do without unlocking everything for free.

Step three

Soft offer to stay. Before the trial ends we make it very clear what it costs to stick around and what they get for that price.

How we handle people who only want free access

Not everyone will convert. The key is to let them go fast and focus on the ones who are worth your time.

What we watch for

People who only open free posts and never reply.
People who push for more and more content during the trial.
People who react badly to clear pricing.

What we do

Keep responses polite and short.
Do not stack extra freebies on top of the trial.
Let them roll off when the trial ends instead of chasing them.

Protecting your value while running trials

Trials should never train fans to expect everything for nothing. We protect your brand from that.

Limit how often trials are offered each month or quarter.
Avoid endless back to back trial links on your socials.
Hold a firm line on what sits behind a paywall.

How we measure if a trial is worth it

Prosper treats trials like any other campaign. If the numbers are off, we adjust or stop them.

How many trial joins you get from each source, such as different socials.
What percent of those turn into paying subs.
Average spend of people who came in through trials compared to normal joins.
Impact on your page, such as chat volume and how busy the inbox feels.

If conversion is low and workload is high, the trial needs to change or be turned off.

What this looks like for you as a creator

You do not have to manage trial joins yourself. Your job stays simple.

Your side

Record content that shows your best work for new people.
Let us know what kind of buyers you want more of.
Tell us quickly if the trial flow ever feels too draining or messy.

Prosper side

Set up and run the welcome and follow up messages.
Adjust trial usage based on real results, not guesswork.
Keep your page feeling like a paid space, not a free sample account.

When trials are used well, they feel like a short doorway into your world. The wrong people walk back out, and the right people choose to stay and pay.
